steamer From St. Michaels Brine* Many People Who Falfed to Reach the Mines By Water Route.

FE0ZEN-1N STEAMERS MAY BE LOST.

THEY CANNOT WITHSTAND. THE SPRING BREAK-DP.

Reports From Cook's Inlet Indicate That the Gold Field Is a Rich One.

Victoria, fc. C., Oct. 17.—Steamer Danube has arrived, ten days from St. Michaels,, She brought eighty-two passengers, most of them men who failed to reach the mines by the all water route. Some got as far as Fort Yukon, and had to turn back. There are twelve miners from Circle City, who bring about $72,000 in gold dust. Most of them have been working around Circle City, but a few are interested in the Klondyke claims. A lot of provisions are at Fort Yukon, but it is feared that if there is' a rush from Dawson it will cause a shortage further down the river. It is predicted that many men will perish id the attempt to escape from starvation by coming down the' river.

The steamer P. B. Weare, after being on a sand bar two days, got off and arrived at St. Michael's September 29. She started up again with a load of freight, but it is feared she will never get up the river. The steamer Alice arrived at St. Michael's September 24th with 120 miners, and after starting up again on the 27th ran aground at the mouth of the river. The steamer Mare Island and the Merwin tried to get up but failed. The Merwin and the Alice at last accounts were on a bar and freezing up.

The Mare Island had returned to Stebbins, twelve miles from St. Michael's. Few men with very little gold were at St. Michael's when the Danube left. The North American Transportation and the Sledgef company will build their river steamer at Unalaska on account of the steamer Hueneme having been lost in Uniak Pass. Five other river steamers are to be built at Sf. Michael's. The ice was in the upper river when the Weare started down and icicles were a foot long on her when she reachetj St. Michael's. The steamers Bertha Cleveland, Portland, Excelsior, Bear an&^Iakkam were at St. Michaels when the Danube left, ateo tfi© stemmer Queen. A party which ar-jrh'-ed St.^Michaels from Stebbins, Octoil^r 3e«i, says that the steamers Merwin, Alice fend Mare Island are frozen in at the n)outh pf the Yukon, and fears are entertained, that they will all be destroyed when the river breaks up in the springs Passengers who started up the river on these steamers are endeavoring to get to St. Michaels overland. The 6teamer Healy, which, with a barge, was loaded at St. Michaels, unloaded when the news came from Stebbins. The Excelsior and steam schooner Navarre with a tow arrived at St. Michaels on October 3rd. M. B. Tucker, correspondent of the Associated Press, of Troy, N. Y., died of exhaustion on the traij few miles from Rampart City. He and a friend started out at night with little food' to locate claims on Hoosier creek. They spent two days and nights in the woods, then turned back. Tucker fell from exhaustion. His friend went for assistance,, but when it arrived Tucker was dead.

Of the men who reached St. Michaels recently most of them have been working for wages in the vicinity of Circle City. Theymade the trip to Fort Yukon in row boats, and from there came down in steamers. There was not $100,000 in the whole crowd, so that the rest of the boats this fall will bring very little treasure.

There is considerable talk among the men who failed to get in of taking action against the steamship companies- which took them up, particularly against the owner of the Eliza Anderson. Of a thousand odd men who started since July, not one-third are miners. Some are still at Fort Yukon hoping to get in early in the spring, but a large maty are coming south. There arc* now eighteen steamers on the river as against live last year, so that there will be lots of food at Dawson soon after the river opens In the spring. Some of the men who reached Circle City on the steamer Hamilton will try to push on to Dawson over the Yukon. No news comes from Dawson.

RIVALS THE KLONDIKE.

Returning Gold Miners Secretive on the Location of Their Bonanza.

San Francisco, Oct 17.—Advices from Bitka, Alaska, report rich discoveries of gold at Cook's Inlet. Ninety miners coming from newly located placer diggings there have brought-$200,000 in gold nuggets and dust to th^ "jcapital of the territory. The largest fiuggfe£ is worth a little less than $100.

Thepdners are reticent about their affairs, indicating* that they desire to keep secret the exact location of their claims. The discoveries, however, make ft certain that that district and Prince William's Sound and the Copper river country will divide attention with the Klondike tributaries next year.

Cook's Inlet has been designed "the garden spot of Alaska." It puts in from the northern Pacific ocean about 500 miles northwest from Sitka, and washes the foothills of the Alaskan range on the northwest and the low lands of the Kenai mountains, which form its southeast coast line. It is known that all this region Is admirably adapted for agricultural and stock raising industries— that is from an Alaskan standpoint. The gold discoveries will greatly add to its value.

The surrounding country is watered by great number of rivdrs. the principal ones feeing the Kassilof, Kahnau, Kinik and the ftuc&eirov At tie raouUu o£ all these are

native^ villages. In addition to tlese are numberless unnamed streams flowing from the mountains into the inlet. It ta3 been rumored for many years that there were valuable placers thereabouts, and coal deposit# were* known to exist. The fact, however, that Sitka was the northern terminal point for vessels engaged in the Alaski trade, and that to reach Cook's Inlet reI quired the chartering of a craft especially for the trip, has hitherto retarded exploraticuis. The country to the northward is a veritable terra incognito, but the natives hate many strange legends to tell about it.

On the western side of the inlet the main Alaskan chain of mountains} rises abruptly I from the tea in steep rtdgec||id peaks, thjf highest, of these being the|R«loubte and the

Ilyamna mountains, botlj efcftting smoke pnly ai two points.alongj th^ coast withiii the inlet does low land "Jnieijyene between the mountains and the ^hor^p at Tayonok and at Kuscatau, both of which localities I have been utilized by the natives for establishing settlements. Two distinct and contiguous lines of "water mark" can be observed along the whole of this chain, one at an altitude of 1,000 feet, the other perhaps 500 or 600 feet above. Both of these lines show the effect of the wash of the ocean.

The mountain ides are finely and heavily timbered to the snow line, the climate is mild and equable, and altogether it is an ideal place for a tender-footed argonaut to pitch his tent.

Now that the presence of gold in paying quantities in this region is an assured fact many prospectors who d^ire to reach an Eldorado without enduring the hardships and delay and the terrors of the Yukon trip will go up the inland passage from Puget Sound to Sitka and re-embark there on board vessels destined for Cook's Inlet. This journey can be made summer and winter without suffering more than ordinary dangers and discomforts of a sea voyage of eleven days' duration.

DEVASTATED BY FIRE

NOVA SCOTIA'S HISTORIC TOWS fl WINDSOR WIPED OCT BY FLAHE&

A Fierce Gale Raged and the Inhabitants Were Powerless to Io Battle .. Against the Flames.

OVEJt THREE THOUSAND HOMEL0.

RELIEF TRAINS SENT FROflf HAUFIX COULD DO BUT LITTLE.

Two People Leap to Death in New York Factory Build* ine Fire.

Halifax, Oct. 17.—Historic Windsor, one of

the most beautiful toyns in the province was devastated by fire this morning. For six

hours, beginning shortly before 3 a. m. the

fire, fanned by a violent northwest gale, raged so fiercely that the local fire depart

ment was absolutely helpless to cope with it,

and within an hour after its discovery the mayor-began to call for outside assistance.

Long before noon the town hed been eateu

up almost completely, the area covoreJ ly

the flames being nearly a mile equaro and of the 400 or more buildings occupying the

section, barely half a dozen searched struc

tures remain. Among the buildings that es

caped are the Windsor cotton factory^ King's

college, the Anglican church, the Edge Hill school for girls and the Buffrin hotel. The

latter is the only hotel- left standing. Of the

3,500 people that inhabited the place few have homes of their own tonight. Over 3,000 have been taken in by the residents of th« surrounding (country and neighboring to#re, while the remainder of the sufferers hiave gone to Halifax or are sheltered in army •tents. A

The fire started in a barn behind the Marine block in the heart of the business district. The high gale prevailing carried the flames to other buildings before the firemen had time to get at work and in a short time the showers of sparks carried in all directions, had ignited a score of buildings. The occupants of dwellings had time to hurry on some clothing and to drag some household) goods into the street, but there wasjno place of safety to which anything left couldi be removed quickly enough to save, it from being destroyed or damaged. The flames cut a clean gap from the water edge on the business front to the forests in the rear, bounded by Ferry Hill on the south side, and by Fort Edwards on the north. The origin of the lire is somewhat mysterious. A severe lightning storm passed over the town before the flames burst forth and some think the barn in which the fire started may have been struck by lightning, but may strongly suspect that the conflagration originated through the carelessness of some drunken man.

When morning broke the site of Windsor was a scene of desolation with hundreds of frantic thinly clad and destitute men and woman anl children rushing back and forth through the smoky streets. Fortunately no lives were lost. Many horses and .Cattle perished in the flames, or were suffocated from smoke. The wind has moderated somewhat and there is no likelihood of further disaster. Relief measures were started in Halifax at an early hour and this afternoon a train load of provisions, ten£s, blankets, etc., arrived from the provincial capital. Aboard the train were Gen. Montgomery Moore, Governor Daly, Mayor Strichen and a hnudred men of the Royal Berkshire regiment and Royal Engineers, who were brought to attend to the erection of tents and aid in the relief work.

The ttotal loss is estimated roughly at three million. While a number of the heaviest losers are partially insuredsand some of them pretty well covered the i-total insurance is calculated to be not mnretthan half a million,

The principal losses are the following: C. M. Shaw's Marine block, $17,000 Wb H. Curry & Co., $10,000 Shaw Brothers/ $81000 Paysant's block, $18,000 Grahank block, $20,000 Victoria Hotel, $15,000 Btabc&ard block, $22,000 C. & and C.

Aged Man and Nephew Hurl Themselves Down an Air Shaft

New York, Oct. 17.—A $300,000 fire in the seven-story factory building at 279 and 281 Spring street, taxed the energies of the fire department this afternoon, and twenty engines and a large focce of men were called out. The basement, first and second floors of the building were occupied by Fitzpatrick & Co., manufacturers of mirrors, plate glass, stained glass, coach and carriage windows and doors. The five upper floors were occupied by the Bradley Currier company, manufacturers of doors, -sashes, frames and mantels of the most expensive sort. This firm had among its stocks the dryest of woods and the most inflammable oils and varnishes.

The building was erected ten years ago by the Trinity church corporation at a cost of $100,000. The stock of Fitzpatrick & Co. and the Bradley Currier company, all of which was destroyed, was estimated to be worth $200,000.

Cormus Christus, 60 years old, and hi6 nephew, Michael Christus, aged 14, occupying an apartment in a Roosevelt street tenement house, were awakened from a nap this afternoon to find the house on fire. In their fright they leaped through a window and down an airshaft where they were found by firemen after the fire had been subdued. They were terribly burned and the old man died at a hospital soon afterward, f*"

BREAKS THE RECORD

ALBERT HOLLAND IS THE KING OF TERRE HAUTE WHEELMEN, i-

He Finished -Up His 400 Miles Late Las? Night—Will Try For Three Centuries Next Sunday.

Tired, hungry and covered with dust Albert Holland, Dan Ferguson, Albert Weinbrecht and O. E. Fryatt pedaled into Terre Haute Sunday morning at 1 o'clock.

The former is perhaps the champion road rider of Indiana, having made a record which he will set up to be shot at by wheelmen of this and other states. Just to show how good he was on a finish Holland reeled off the last mile in two minutes and thirty-two seconds.

The cyclometer on his wheel showed that he has ridden 405 miles since 5 o'clock Saturday morning. Holland started out at that hour to ride what is known as a "quad" and he succeeded in the very best of shape. He eclipsed the record made by Malone of Clinton, by making the 400 miles in fourty-four hours. Malone made the trip in forty-five hours.

Bert Holland is the first man in Indiana, so far as the wheel authorities have been able to ascertain, who has ridden 400 miles in this time. It was while the court house clock was striking the hour of 5 Saturday morning that Holland, paced by Archie Ferguson, placed his shoes in the top clips and started on the race against time. The route of the century was over the well-known Cayuga course. He reached Cayuga without accident and after resting nine minutes, started on the return trip. He wheeled into Terre Haute at 1:14 Saturday afternoon.

He rode to his home on South Ninth street where, after a lunch and a rub down, he started on the second trip. He left the city at 2 o'clock and was this time paced by O. E. Fryatt. The next seen of Holland in Terre Haute was at 12:10 yesterday morning. He registered and then went home where, after a rub down, he went to bed and slept until 3:30 yesterday morning. Then after another rubbing and after he had eaten a light lunch he again mounted his wheel at 4 o'clock was off for the third century. On the second 100 miles he stopped thirty-five minutes in Cayuga.

He was taken out on the third century by Will Teel and J. Fred Probst, two of the old reliables. These two wheelmen paced Holland as far as Dana where Arch Ferguson and Charles Miller with a tandem took him on to Cayuga and back to Dana. The other wheelmen took him up from here and carried him back to Terre Haute. On this trip he stopped 15 minutes at Cayuga. He reached Terre Haute a little after 1 o'clock and at 2:10 was again in the saddle and off for the last 100 miles. This time he was paced by Dan Ferguson, Albert Weinbrecht and O. E. Fryatt. This trio of cyclists brought him back at 1 o'clock this morning. As the wheelmen started down from tho park they were timed by Fryatt and L.

Hughes. Holland rode the last mile in 2 32 which smashed the record made by Malone all to pieces.

Holland was very tired wjien he dismounted this morning but he says he will be at work at the car shops when the whistle blows at 7 o'clock. He is a knotty little fellow and has already ridden thirty centuries, three doubles and on "quod." Next Sunday he is going out on a triple century, and it he makes this, as he undoubtedly will, he will be one of the very few complete century men in the country, having ridden the single, double and quadruple centuries. Holland has 37 bars on his century string. He expects to make the triple century in less than 17 hours and 10 minutes, the best time yet made in Indiana. Holland made his remarkable record yesterday on a '96 National wheel and had but one accident and this was in the chain and which was quickly repaired.

All R«H(ir For the Louisville Races. Louisville, Oct. 17.—Eight car loads of horses, the fastest harness performers to be found in America, have arrived on the track of the Louisville Driving and Fair Association from Lexington. There are now quartered at the track nearly 400 horses and 200 more 'are expected to arrive tomorrow. S. R. Browne, the driver of Robert J. and John S. Gentry, said tonight that he would drive Gentry in the match race next Friday and that Ed Geers would drive Robert J. The two great pacers will pace the best three in five heats. All the horsemen agreed that the track is in splendid condition, and they predict a remarkably successful meeting if it does not rain.

A Fata Sh otlng at Cleveland, Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 17..—Warren Reynolds, aged 18. the son of Ira Reynolds, treasurer of the Wade Park Baking Co., and a' sophomore at Case school of applied sciences, was shot and killed last night while duck hunting, and died this morning. He was with Leslie Stair and Wm. McClure, two fellow students. Stair attempted to change the guns from one side of the boat to the other, when one of them was discharged, the load of shot tearing off one ef Reynolds' hands and striking him in the abdomen. Stair and McClure are so badly prostrated that they under under the care «f physicians.

150 LIVES LOST AT SEA

FCRTHER DETAILS OF THE WRECK OF THE "TRITON" OFF CUBA. *p5Of the Two Hundred Fasaengera, Soldiers and Civilians, Most of Them Became Food For Sharks. ^36 .•

Havana, Oct. 17.—The ganljpat Maria Christina, which left this port yesterday for

the scene of the wreck of the coasting steam

er Triton, which sank yesterday morning between Dominica andiMariel, has returned,

accompanied by the tug. boat Susie, which

went with her, the gunboat having on board nineteen and the tug boat twenty-three of

the members of the lost ship's company, of

which thirteen are civilians and soldiers. The whereabouts of the others of the company

is unknown. The Triton struck tne rock dur

ing a heavy rainstorm. Her. cargo shifted and fifteen minutes later she sank in 120 fathoms of water. A scene of terrible confusion and panics ensued. In a wild struggle the passengers' rUshed for the boats. The first boat lowered capsized immediately and all of its occupants were drown in the whirling waters. The next .was struck by an enormous wave and turned over, drowning twenty, but the frail craft righted again and eight who had been thrown out regained the boat. Some were good swimmers and kepft themselves afloat for hours. Others floated about for twenty-four hours on planks. Four soldiers on planks whom the strong currents carried east of Havana were saved by a pilot boat. They declare [jthat last evening there were many othens near them on planks, but when this morning came all these had disappeared. Some of them probably became food for sharks.

Those who were rescued tell heartrending stories of the scene during the terrible quarter of an hour before the Triton sank.- An army capUin, his wife and daughter wmt down together locked in a-last embrace. A mother with twins 15 months old drifted helplessly away On the drest of a great wave. All the other ladies and children were drowned.

Just as the Triton WM sinking, Captain Richardo, her. coinmender, committed suicide by shooting himself with his revolver. It is impossible to give the exact number of those lost, but it is estimated there were no fewer than 150. No passenger list has been found. The consignee sftys that the vessel which carried a-cargo was not Insured. The fortytwo rescued persons suffered severely from the exposure. All of them were more or less bruised and many were badly wounded.

IN THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE

Opinion as to Dwputy CoBectors of Inti iRevfnue. "i*

Washington, 06t. J£—The case of the, lector of internal revenue, at Richmond, whose removal ofideputy collectors just a'her his assumption oif office created much interest at the time, and against whom charges of violation of civil service laws were made, is now before Attorney General McKenna for a decision on points submitted by the civil service commission aB to the status of deputy collectors. The issUe? is Important as involving the status of all deputy internal revenue collectors. Tho questions submitted by the commission follow: Are deputy collectors of internal revenue officers of the United States? Does tihe term of office of such deputy cease by reason of the going out of office of the collector under whom he was appointed and the taking of office by a newly appointed cdHectoj!? Are they properly in the classified service and subject to the provisions of the civil service act and rules?

The commission Iti brief transmitted to the attorney general, submits that !t would certainly appear that a deputy collector is not only an Officer unfler the most approved definitions and under the decisions made by eminent jurists, but that the statutes themselves expressly and distinctly recognize a deputy collector as a. United States officer. As to the second question it is argued that the deputy holds over until his successor is duly appointed and that an affirmative act, not only on the part of the collector himself but of the commissioner of the internal revenue, is a sine qua non in vacating the office of a duly appointed deputy.

As to being classified, the conclusion o! the commission follows:, "That the provisions of section 1753, revised statutes, and of the civil service fct are not inconsistent or in conflict with the provisions of other statutes relating to the appointment of deputies of internal revenue: .that the president's action in directing, their classification was following the clear intent of congress as Indicated by the precedents established by congress itself that their classification is distinctly, authorized by the direct language of statute, and that this authority has been duly -and regularly exercisod, and deputy collectors of internal revenue are in the classified service, subject to the provisions of the civil service act."

Statue to Be Placed on Exhibition. The fine gold burnished statue of St. Michael, which is to adorn the d«me of thd new St. Benedict's church, is soon to be placed on exhibition. The church trustees are face to face with the proposition that they must raise funds to carry on the building of the edifice. The statue of St. Michael arrived last Wednesday and it is a handsoma thing, being sixteen feet high. The trustees of St. Benedict's church believe that there are several hundred people in Terre Haute who would like to look at the statue before it is placed on the top of the dome and as it will cost something like $500 to place it in position it has been decided to place the statue on exhibition and charg® a small price to see it. The Idea is to put it in a large tent and allow everybody to come and see It before it is placed on the top of the church.
